Strie
The old world paint technique from France lends a soft, time-worn feeling to any room. Darker colours are perfect for a warm traditional look, while a pastel strie works well in a shabby chic or country decor.
Dark is stried over a light yellow base to create a soft inner glow. The Strie mimics old fabric covered walls to create a cozy, aged feel in this restaurant.
Strie created in a soft green over lavender walls adds character without becoming overbearing to the softness of the room. The strie also matches the texture of the bedding.
A bathroom is given white, stried stripes over a creamy yellow background for a soft, pretty look.
